or linux with mono ?

neon crow Aug 23, 2018, 6:46 AM

#

@rancid lance Windows would probably be the first preference i guess.. but I have worked in linux before so don't mind it .. I have 1 media pc at home which i will use for now.

rancid lance Aug 23, 2018, 6:46 AM

#

kewl check out the python env guide in the docs then

neon crow Aug 23, 2018, 6:47 AM

#

Seen some screenshots before where somebody controls all Televisions in their home with a linux server box... which then also allows them to split the screen on the tvs to show the front door camera when somebody rings the doorbell

#

*split screen

rancid lance Aug 23, 2018, 6:47 AM

#

im a linux user

#

got one windows machine for music production

#

but other then that its all linux

neon crow Aug 23, 2018, 6:48 AM

#

nice.

#

and you know how to basically play all video to all tvs in the house using a linux multimedia server?

rancid lance Aug 23, 2018, 6:49 AM

#

depends on which media server that it is

#

havent played around with any of those

#

but you got this cool distro

#

motioneyeos - A Video Surveillance OS For Single-board Computers

#

that ive been looking at

peak cloud Aug 23, 2018, 6:50 AM

#

@neon crow I think the easiest way to do that would likely be with IPTV.

rancid lance Aug 23, 2018, 6:51 AM

#

kodi perhaps

#

then creating a playlist (,m3u) and getting the simple iptv addon

#

that could work

neon crow Aug 23, 2018, 6:52 AM

#

Ok cool, i will start with baby steps 😃

peak cloud Aug 23, 2018, 6:53 AM

#

Actually, you know what...I am thinking Apple TV, Roku, Plex, Kodi, or Chromecast could likely do all of these.

rancid lance Aug 23, 2018, 6:53 AM

#

yeah aslong as they have iptv support

#

i just default to kodi since i use it daily

peak cloud Aug 23, 2018, 6:53 AM

#

Not necessary if you don't use IPTV 😉

#

You could just use a stream 😛

rancid lance Aug 23, 2018, 6:54 AM

#

yeah but its nice to have em in a list and saved

peak cloud Aug 23, 2018, 6:54 AM

#

RTSP would work.

neon crow Aug 23, 2018, 6:54 AM

#

I can use google on the phone to create custom assistant commands and install Home Assistant and see If i can get google to call some script there then

peak cloud Aug 23, 2018, 6:54 AM

#

@neon crow Sounds like you've already figured out your next step 😃

neon crow Aug 23, 2018, 6:55 AM

#

@peak cloud yeah.. Google Home mini is on sale here (australia) ... which is why I am asking google vs alexa as i might just buy a few to scatter around the house

peak cloud Aug 23, 2018, 6:55 AM

#

@neon crow All we ask of you is that you please read the documentation. We spend too much time helping people with issues that they could have easily figured out by reading a simple paragraph on the component page. (I hope this does not come off as offensive. Hell, I'm guilty of not reading the docs once in a while myself, lol)

neon crow Aug 23, 2018, 6:56 AM

#

@peak cloud yeah, no problem, I just jammed alot of questions/requirements into welcome message to just see if anybody else was in similar situation and could offer advise

peak cloud Aug 23, 2018, 6:57 AM

#

@neon crow Dude, your welcome message was the best I've seen in...2 years?

neon crow Aug 23, 2018, 6:57 AM

#

need like an #introductions channel to post your intro into 😃

rancid lance Aug 23, 2018, 6:58 AM

#

well its kinda this the lounge 😛

peak cloud Aug 23, 2018, 6:58 AM

#

@neon crow I just realized I didn't finish answering your questions.

rancid lance Aug 23, 2018, 6:58 AM

#

or as i like to call it my beer place 😛

#

this is the random chat thats not specific to any of the other channels

peak cloud Aug 23, 2018, 6:58 AM

#

✅ Security Cameras in and around the house
✅ Multisensors in each room to measure things like temps, humidity, lights and movement
✅ Window & Door sensors
✅ Controlling the audio from ceiling speakers
✅ Controlling multiple TVs (with voice and also dash buttons)
✅ Controlling lights
✅ Create custom screen in the HUB that can run my own code.

I mean, 7 out of 7 ain't bad at all!!

#

Hey @rancid lance...you wanna show him a couple of your custom "screens?" 😃

#

(Untappd, for example...)

rancid lance Aug 23, 2018, 7:00 AM

@neon crow Check out these custom screens that you can make!

#

These are all easily possible thanks to the amazing Lovelace UI. https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/

tiny mesa Aug 23, 2018, 10:51 AM

#

@neon crow I am in Australia as well and just returned 3 echos and bought 3 google home

#

@neon crow For some reason echo's have geo locked "skills" and most are not over here yet. Also features like more then one user is not available. Google home was easy to setup and knows the voice of me and my wife and works with tts aaaand no geo locked content

#

@neon crow and google home home as more features available to it with home assistant then echo

quartz ether Aug 23, 2018, 12:18 PM

#

@tiny mesa You should have made a us account. The only annoying part is asking it for the weather. You have to specify the location just asking what is the weather will give some random US city

tiny mesa Aug 23, 2018, 12:18 PM

#

still no ecobee support

#

Honesty from using both I prefer the Google home

#

and I should not have to make it an American account...

zenith egret Aug 23, 2018, 12:30 PM

#

@peak cloud What do you use as source for your ceiling speakers?

#

Also is your Multisensors based on the DIYSensors, like the one Ben from BruhAutomation built?

peak cloud Aug 23, 2018, 12:33 PM

#

@zenith egret I do not have ceiling speakers, but if I were to build another system, I would likely go with Chromecast Audios and some decent 20W-50W amps from Amazon.

#

As for multisensors, no, I used Z-Wave Aeotec MultiSensor 6.

#

And also the Philips Hue Motion. Oh, and SmartThings MultiSensor.

#

And I guess Xiaomi motion sensor. Hahaha

zenith egret Aug 23, 2018, 12:35 PM

#

Presently I have a mixture of Google Home/mini and RPis simulation airplay speakers with LMS to tie it together. Just curious if there is a "neater" option

peak cloud Aug 23, 2018, 12:35 PM

#

LMS?

zenith egret Aug 23, 2018, 12:35 PM

#

I still have to jump on the z-wave band wagon, but not sure which gateway is most compatible etc etc..

peak cloud Aug 23, 2018, 12:35 PM

#

There is a neater option, but it’ll cost you an arm and a leg: Sonos.

zenith egret Aug 23, 2018, 12:36 PM

#

Logitech Media Server aka Squeezebox

peak cloud Aug 23, 2018, 12:36 PM

#

Aeotec Z-Stick Gen 5

#

Ahh, nice.

zenith egret Aug 23, 2018, 12:36 PM

#

Sonos is nice, but waaaaaaaaaaay out of my price bracket

peak cloud Aug 23, 2018, 12:36 PM

#

If there was a way to use Google cast groups without discovery, Google cast would be super ideal for multi-zoned audio.

#

Haha, exactly.

zenith egret Aug 23, 2018, 12:37 PM

#

HA picked up the group I created with GH

orchid rose Aug 23, 2018, 12:37 PM

#

why not use discovery?

zenith egret Aug 23, 2018, 12:38 PM

#

Only draw back was the player that initiated the grouping was replaced with the group - so if I only want to play music on that speaker again I have to delete the group

#

HA did discover the GH speaker group

orchid rose Aug 23, 2018, 12:38 PM

#

did you give it the same name as one of your speakers or something? For me it kept all the speakers and added the group

zenith egret Aug 23, 2018, 12:39 PM

#

I called it "everywhere", and the other speaker are kitchen, living_room etc

orchid rose Aug 23, 2018, 12:40 PM

#

and one of the speakers disappeared? Weird

#

I called mine ambient and it worked fine

#

I'm using the old "media_player: - platform: cast" still though as I couldn't get the new one to work

zenith egret Aug 23, 2018, 12:40 PM

#

Yip, might possibly be the way I did it - Still new to the GH evironment

#

Same platform added aswell - Did not know there was a new one

orchid rose Aug 23, 2018, 12:41 PM

#

logs say something like this: [homeassistant.components.media_player.cast] Setting configuration for Cast via platform is deprecated. Configure via Cast component instead.

zenith egret Aug 23, 2018, 12:41 PM

#

that one popped up when I seaeched

orchid rose Aug 23, 2018, 12:41 PM

#

so there's a new way of doing it but it found nothing for me

peak cloud Aug 23, 2018, 12:41 PM

#

@orchid rose Discovery is going away in the future, based on my understanding. I am not sure if it will be replaced by something else or not, but currently that is the only way to use cast groups.

orchid rose Aug 23, 2018, 12:41 PM

#

interesting

peak cloud Aug 23, 2018, 12:41 PM

#

Maybe the new cast component solves that!

zenith egret Aug 23, 2018, 12:42 PM

#

@peak cloud - That will be a big bummer to loose the discovery of media players

peak cloud Aug 23, 2018, 12:42 PM

#

I haven’t had a look.

#

I’m not entirely sure if it’s actually going away as in losing functionality, or if it is being refactored into a more optimized system.

dry cairn Aug 23, 2018, 12:43 PM

discoveryio?

zenith egret Aug 23, 2018, 12:43 PM

just ask

can somebody explain what kodi is and what i could use it for

lool

wtf

dude google

#

i know your 14 years old

#

but we are not your google assistant

signal sail Aug 23, 2018, 2:25 PM

#

And I feel bad even asking considering I've found a ton of threads on this but there is a disconnect somewhere for me apparently. Slapped my first install on a 3B+ last night want to assign a device level static IP to ETH0 which on every other distro of linux I can do in about two seconds this seems different. The resin-sample file isnt visible via SSH or configurator is it?

rancid lance Aug 23, 2018, 2:26 PM

#

is that for hass.io ?

signal sail Aug 23, 2018, 2:26 PM

yup

jagged mantle Aug 23, 2018, 2:27 PM

#

ive read on kodi's website but i cant understand what is so good about it

rancid lance Aug 23, 2018, 2:27 PM

#

its a mediacenter

#

there is nothing more to get

signal sail Aug 23, 2018, 2:27 PM

rancid lance Aug 23, 2018, 2:27 PM

jagged mantle Aug 23, 2018, 2:27 PM

#

but who have movies on thier own computers dont we just watch netflix or viaplay

rancid lance Aug 23, 2018, 2:28 PM

#

wow that statement is alot to take in

#

well pre your time there wasnt netflix or viaplay

#

there was the internet

#

so people wanted movies to watch so they downloaded it

#

or ripped from their dvd copy etc

#

today we just shell out money to companies that has the moveis for us like the obdiant sheeps we are 😃

#

and kodi has netflix and viaplay support

#

in Kodi 18

#

still a damn good media center

#

i should know i used to help out on development

#

its like EA Orgin pass

jagged mantle Aug 23, 2018, 2:31 PM

#

do i need a server for kodi?

rancid lance Aug 23, 2018, 2:31 PM

#

it sounds like a good idea

#

renting and getting all the game at once

#

but your security as a customer with buyers protection etc goes right out the window

#

and your at the mercy of the company and what they decide you should play or watch

vale shale Aug 23, 2018, 2:32 PM

#

and all the "unofficial addons" are kind of sketch illegal

#

for kodi

rancid lance Aug 23, 2018, 2:33 PM

#

yes we have had alot of isssues with those

#

so stay away from those

vale shale Aug 23, 2018, 2:33 PM

#

👍

jagged mantle Aug 23, 2018, 2:33 PM

i dont understand but okay

rancid lance Aug 23, 2018, 2:33 PM

#

@rancid lance 👴 back in my day we didnt have any of them there new fangled digi-doos we watched VHS tapes and we LIKED it. be kind, please rewind 😛

rancid lance Aug 23, 2018, 2:33 PM

#

VHS was teh shit

#

my first gaming setup was a c64

amber bramble Aug 23, 2018, 2:33 PM

#

vhs was terrible lol

#

aside from the fact it was super easy to make copies of tapes

rancid lance Aug 23, 2018, 2:34 PM

#

10 minutes of loading time and 1 min of game time

#

xD

#

in sweden its perfectly fine to copy from a source you own

amber bramble Aug 23, 2018, 2:34 PM

#

the only time i touch VHS tapes or DVDs now is to make a digital copy of them for my plex server

vale shale Aug 23, 2018, 2:34 PM

#

If it helps @jagged mantle I tried kodi and plex but i found in the end that I liked plex better.

rancid lance Aug 23, 2018, 2:34 PM

#

so ripping dvds etc is legal

vale shale Aug 23, 2018, 2:35 PM

#

Not unless anyone finds out...

rancid lance Aug 23, 2018, 2:35 PM

#

plex better ?

#

haha

#

yepp

#

plex might have some small advantages at the moment

vale shale Aug 23, 2018, 2:36 PM

#

well just for my needs. I know that some people use kodi tts but I just want to have a main media server that I can use. I just have one tv.

rancid lance Aug 23, 2018, 2:36 PM

#

but Leia is dropping soon

#

that version is gonna be nice

amber bramble Aug 23, 2018, 2:36 PM

#

kodi can do PiP and TTS kind of stuff can't it?

rancid lance Aug 23, 2018, 2:36 PM

#

PiP is in development

amber bramble Aug 23, 2018, 2:36 PM

#

I've never actually done much with it, but it would be great to get a little PiP popup of the front door camera if the doorbell rings\

rancid lance Aug 23, 2018, 2:37 PM

#

they recently reworked the video core

vale shale Aug 23, 2018, 2:37 PM

#

I just do not like having to enable UpNp for kodi to be a media server

rancid lance Aug 23, 2018, 2:37 PM

#

so they can do DRM services like netflix etc

amber bramble Aug 23, 2018, 2:37 PM

#

or a "motion detected in toddler's room" notification if the toddler gets out of bed when she's supposed to be sleeping 😛

rancid lance Aug 23, 2018, 2:38 PM

#

TTS at the same time as a source is playing is still a no but that might just get reworked in later versions

#

Version 18 has is kinda of a huge rebase

#

they actually slowed down their release cycle cause there are so much rewrites

#

plus its getting the best feature ever

#

Retroplayer

#

So there is a lot of stuff happening in the Kodi part of the world 😃

vale shale Aug 23, 2018, 2:40 PM

#

Do you have a server for kodi or does every device have all the movies, music...

rancid lance Aug 23, 2018, 2:40 PM

#

sql

#

2 device connected to it

#

running osmc as OS

#

thats the kodi distro i helped out on

#

bases of debian (rolling distro)

#

and running an sql on a nas that all the rest is stored on isnt a big hassle

#

but for many users plex works outta the box and thats why they think its better

#

then putting in some effort

vale shale Aug 23, 2018, 2:43 PM

#

what about live tv dvr?

rancid lance Aug 23, 2018, 2:43 PM

about 15 or 20 clients avaiable i think

rancid lance Aug 23, 2018, 3:40 PM

the default ui for krypton isnt bad

#

Omni does

#

or you can download a pack that does under settings

shy comet Aug 23, 2018, 3:40 PM

#

oh an extension to current theme?

rancid lance Aug 23, 2018, 3:40 PM

shy comet Aug 23, 2018, 3:40 PM

#

hmm

orchid rose Aug 23, 2018, 3:40 PM

#

I should try Omni too then I guess. Lot of these just look awful on a big screen though

rancid lance Aug 23, 2018, 3:40 PM

is node red that heavy?

amber bramble Aug 23, 2018, 5:43 PM

ive never used it but my pi3 was starting to slow down with a larger HA install, so the more you load up on a pi2 the more it will slow down

Your choice of Linux is fine - whether you want Debian based, or RedHat based, really depends on what you're doing with it. There are of course other flavours out there, but if you're new things like SUSE may throw you

eager trench Aug 24, 2018, 10:12 AM

#

@gusty relic I used CE

gusty relic Aug 24, 2018, 10:13 AM

#

@eager trench did you put portainer on top or something or just use command line?

eager trench Aug 24, 2018, 10:13 AM

#

I used command line to set everything up and then installed Portainer

#

Are you going Hassio or ??

#

Actually not even sure what engine version of docker is....

#

Lol

#

I just followed the docker docs

#

And the docker page on hassio down the bottom of the page

#

Then restored snapshots... i had already been running hassio in docker on a Pi. I did need to reinstall some addons and fix my port forwards but it was simple getting it running

Have you used docker before?

#

ish

#

hehe

#

tested it for a bit

eager trench Aug 24, 2018, 10:20 AM

#

When you restore your snapshots, particularly if you use non-standard or community addons... you might need to add the repos and reinstall them again so make sure you still have access to the option settings

#

But I’ve never done anything so simple

gusty relic Aug 24, 2018, 10:21 AM

#

first reinstall then delete

eager trench Aug 24, 2018, 10:22 AM

#

With San/sonarr/cp I screwed myself up a bit as I ended up with say sonarr not having access to the Sabnzb data partition because it had a different ‘name’ which was a mega PITA but the good thing is you can just delete the container and recreate it with different options

gusty relic Aug 24, 2018, 10:23 AM

#

thats what i like about it

eager trench Aug 24, 2018, 10:23 AM

#

I didn’t bother with docker-compose.... just use command line to set them up

gusty relic Aug 24, 2018, 10:23 AM

#

testing without going through long setups

eager trench Aug 24, 2018, 10:23 AM

#

And I spent a day or 3 originally setting up those on a pi with Raspbian but docker is a bloody DREAM

#

Unbelievable.

eager trench Aug 24, 2018, 10:24 AM

#

Thanks @light trout

#

Haha!! It worked

#

I was also wondering how to add reactions lol

#

I also installed watchtower to automatically keep containers up to date but I saw last night it failed on one so I might ditch it as it’s simple in Portainer to update

light trout Aug 24, 2018, 10:31 AM

#

That is a bad idea IMO

#

using watchtower that is

eager trench Aug 24, 2018, 10:32 AM

#

I did run into an issue earlier when I updated docker.... half the containers didn’t restart - home assistant ones..

#

Right... I’m inclined to ditch watchtower... it’s not saving much....

#

If I’m going to update docker should I stop home assistant first?

#

Like.... what should my procedure be?

Close the door 30 to 60 seconds after it opens, so you can trap people inside, or wreck your car 😛

I would think the german pronunciation of "Immensee" would be something like i' mun zee and not ee' mun zay. Anyone that can help?

wooden locust Aug 24, 2018, 3:50 PM

#

ha!

#

i mean hardware to control the garage

#

everything ive read up seems meh

#

or has issues

clever mortar Aug 24, 2018, 3:51 PM

#

There's various options that have been discussed in depth on the forum - OpenGarage seems to be fairly popular 🤷

trail crag Aug 24, 2018, 3:51 PM

#

I like my OpenGarage still

wooden locust Aug 24, 2018, 3:52 PM

#

ah yeah thats the one i was leaning towards

#

cool ill give it a shot

trail crag Aug 24, 2018, 3:52 PM

#

I have a google home notification for when it's been open for 5 min, and then another at 20 min which is followed by an automatic closing

wooden locust Aug 24, 2018, 3:52 PM

#

im pretty new to hassio

#

should i give hassbian + homeassistant a try?

#

seems like you have more "control/access" with hassbia+ha

trail crag Aug 24, 2018, 3:54 PM

#

You are new to Home Assistant. Hassio is one option. Hassbian is another

#

Hassbian is going to be more of a traditional linux install

wooden locust Aug 24, 2018, 3:54 PM

#

yup trying to move off Smart thigns

trail crag Aug 24, 2018, 3:55 PM

#

So yes, you can get your hands dirtier, so to speak, with Hassbian

#

Hassio is similar to a docker install

wooden locust Aug 24, 2018, 3:55 PM

#

im okay with traditional linux stuff

#

but im feeling already overwhelmed with HA setup

trail crag Aug 24, 2018, 3:55 PM

#

(And a straight docker install of Home Assistant is yet another option)

wooden locust Aug 24, 2018, 3:56 PM

#

lots to learn with HA + Node Red

trail crag Aug 24, 2018, 3:56 PM

#

You can put off the Node Red part for a while. Get comfortable with HA first

wooden locust Aug 24, 2018, 3:56 PM

i got basic Zwave+zigbee working

#

i got devices connected atleast

#

okay ill give that a try

@trail crag I installed a second instance of home assistant in the UNraid server last night. Considering doing a Hassio instance next week. That way I have two testbeds and my production build stays intact.

I've discovered if I have cloud enabled/connected in one, I will get signed out of another, so I have to be careful with that

I only need cloud: for my production instance but when I restore snapshots I forget to disable it sometimes

I haven't needed that aspect of it yet so it remains untouched. Though that may be an issue if there are use cases for multiple instances.

I think my 2 inch color display shows up today. @clever mortar going to attend to use it in conjunction with an esp32 board to act as a remote/media display for Plex music. Hopefully it works. If not I saw a hack for doing it with Spotify since their source code for the old version is open source now.

Guess I'll have to document it if it works.☺️👍

i get to pull 7 new cat5 runs though the attic and walls tomorrow. i'm so excited 😓

dry cairn Aug 25, 2018, 2:24 AM

#

why not pull some fiber since you in there to future proof it

amber bramble Aug 25, 2018, 2:25 AM

#

it'll be a while before i have any use for fiber

#

most of these runs are for PoE cameras

#

picked up a couple new reolink domes and got the second gens 😄

dry cairn Aug 25, 2018, 2:43 AM

#

yep

#

the second gen domes are nice

#

a lot better night vision

#

i got 16 of those atm on blue iris

amber bramble Aug 25, 2018, 2:53 AM

#

I'll probably order 1 or 2 more pretty soon

#

after i get the cables run

#

hard to beat for $60

#

only bad thing is now I have a bullet and I'm not sure what to do with it lol

dry cairn Aug 25, 2018, 2:56 AM

#

the reolink bullet 5mp?

amber bramble Aug 25, 2018, 2:56 AM

#

the bullet version of the 1st gen domes

#

rlc-410 i think was the model

#

i bought 1 bullet and 1 dome originally to compare them

dry cairn Aug 25, 2018, 2:56 AM

#

i got 2 of those 5mp bullets and the picture on those is worse then the 1st gen domes lol

#

but they do have optical zoom

amber bramble Aug 25, 2018, 2:57 AM

#

yeah i decided i liked the domes better

dry cairn Aug 25, 2018, 2:57 AM

#

yeah

#

the domes are great if you get the gen 2

amber bramble Aug 25, 2018, 2:57 AM

#

better form factor for mounting under the eaves of the house

dry cairn Aug 25, 2018, 2:57 AM

#

i had a heated discussion with their support about the gen 1 and 2 and they finally agreed to swap the gen 1 for the 2's

#

i wasn t too happy with the gen 1 night vision it looked like you in a alaska snow storm at night

amber bramble Aug 25, 2018, 3:00 AM

i really want to put a camera on my mailbox post at license plate height so i can get a decent shot of every car coming up and down the street, but getting cable to it is going to be incredibly difficult

we got a lot of car breakins lately and the last time i caught em on video

they so moronic they actually walked up to the camera to make sure its really a camera

then they ran

too late buddy

and nobody notices the cams on the mailbox

@amber bramble I know how you feel about running those cables. I just ran 10 up to my attic for computers, cameras, etc. Good luck!

Does anyone know of a media player for a desktop PC that can cast to chromecast devices? Tons of android apps can do this as well as hass but for some reason I can't seem to find a regular player that can do this...

@dry cairn have you updated the firmware on any of your gen2 reolinks?

dry cairn Aug 25, 2018, 6:47 PM

not yet

#

is there one out yet?

#

maybe that will fix the ocasional frame sync skip

amber bramble Aug 25, 2018, 6:48 PM

the firmware on the site for the rlc-420 doesn't seem to work on the gen2?

dry cairn Aug 25, 2018, 6:48 PM

nope

#

different chipset

#

the old gen was a rain chip

amber bramble Aug 25, 2018, 6:49 PM

would be great if the website specified that

dry cairn Aug 25, 2018, 6:49 PM

😂 quality american workmanship

amber bramble Aug 25, 2018, 7:53 PM

1 down, 1 to go

#

then i need to order another camera and hire a small child to crawl through the attic to pull the cable for it. no way i'll fit down close enough in the attic to run it

#

can't seem to get 20FPS out of it at 4MP though :/

#

might be my blueiris box

dry cairn Aug 25, 2018, 8:07 PM

#

prolly lol

#

and you should limit it to 10fps

#

more then enough

#

enable direct to disk writing too

#

oh and does your machine support intel quick sync?

amber bramble Aug 25, 2018, 8:10 PM

#

not sure on quick sync

#

cpu is only around 50%, set up direct to disk

#

1080p gives me a solid 20 fps

dry cairn Aug 25, 2018, 8:10 PM

#

20 is worthless

#

you wasting cpu cycles

#

10 is the perfect mix

#

and what is your video card

amber bramble Aug 25, 2018, 8:11 PM

#

intel integrated gpu

dry cairn Aug 25, 2018, 8:11 PM

#

which one

amber bramble Aug 25, 2018, 8:12 PM

#

looks like intel hd 2500

dry cairn Aug 25, 2018, 8:12 PM

#

set all the cams to 10 fps at max resolution

#

yeah that one dont do quick sync

#

drop all your cams to 10 fps max res and max bitrate

#

8192

amber bramble Aug 25, 2018, 8:21 PM

#

doesn't seem to matter what framerate i set it to, max resultion is still dropping frames on my box :/

dry cairn Aug 25, 2018, 8:22 PM

#

time to get a beefier machine

#

i7 and a modern intel iris video card

#

and at least 16gb

amber bramble Aug 25, 2018, 8:25 PM

#

weird though because the cpu and gpu are less than 50%

dry cairn Aug 25, 2018, 8:26 PM

#

well something isn t keeping up

#

how you know its dropping frames

amber bramble Aug 25, 2018, 8:27 PM

#

watching it

dry cairn Aug 25, 2018, 8:27 PM

#

?

amber bramble Aug 25, 2018, 8:27 PM

#

it will be smooth and then pause for half a second

dry cairn Aug 25, 2018, 8:27 PM

#

that happens when it is recording

#

there was something about that in the release notes

amber bramble Aug 25, 2018, 8:28 PM

#

and the average FPS in the info dialog shows 3-5 frames per second lower than what its set at

#

i havent set recording up on it yet

dry cairn Aug 25, 2018, 8:28 PM

#

you can t go by that bar

#

its a notorious liar

#

motion detection setup wrong could also cause frame studder

#

there 's all kinds of shit in bi that can cuase that

amber bramble Aug 25, 2018, 8:32 PM

yeah i may go to the local university surplus store and get a new machine for $50

they have machines with haswell and newer i7's for $50

soo.. here's a fun one.. I set up a pi with homeassistant... the person payed me like $20 to show them how to use it... they lost power because they either couldn't or wouldn't pay their power bill... now they want a refund because their HA isn't working... -_-

amber bramble Aug 25, 2018, 10:07 PM

#

yeah its kind of hard for HA to work if you don't have power

graceful lagoon Aug 25, 2018, 10:08 PM

#

ikr

#

now they want their $65 back because they payed me to get the pi, and cd card and set it up... I'm sitting here like "Ok, then I want my Pi and sd back" and they said no. so I said no refund.. you don't get my work for free because you screwed up.

#

lol

#

I mean, I'm willing to give them a refund... if they're willing to return the gear... I don't see that as unreasonable

the camera that can't keep up with the framerate has Mirror and Flip options checked in the firmware

#

i put a second camera up in a different spot and it doesn't have any issues

#

nope, turned those off and it still did it. wonder if i got a bum camera

its doing a lot of ghosting if there's any quick movement

Hello world.. From Brazil... 😃

amber bramble Aug 27, 2018, 4:52 PM

#

I made the mistake of venturing into /r/datahoarder and now i want to build a 24-bay NAS

clever mortar Aug 27, 2018, 4:55 PM

#

Only 24 bay?

#

I want four 24 bay DAS enclosures

vast dove Aug 27, 2018, 4:56 PM

#

@amber bramble whats just because you didnt read about those 300TB Nas setups.. go on read more!!

clever mortar Aug 27, 2018, 4:56 PM

#

I've no idea what I really need that for, but that's not the point 😄

#

/r/homelab is also a mistake 😉

amber bramble Aug 27, 2018, 4:56 PM

#

yes. yes it is.

#

only problem with most of the homelab and datahoarder builds is the amount of power since they're using older gear

clever mortar Aug 27, 2018, 4:57 PM

#

Yeah, it's why when I built my home server it was done with a then new low power Xeon

amber bramble Aug 27, 2018, 4:57 PM

#

i like the fact that my entire house averages 350 watts idle...

vast dove Aug 27, 2018, 4:57 PM

#

lol, my workstation idles at 296 W 😛

#

Luckily power is cheap here

clever mortar Aug 27, 2018, 4:59 PM

#

Pretty sure my house idles at way above 400W. Sure, the server is under 100W, but there's a gazillion chargers, Sonos, Squeezebox, Google Home Minis, etc etc etc. Oh, and TV, X-Box, and so on

amber bramble Aug 27, 2018, 4:59 PM

#

looks like 370 might be the new average for my house. i replaced my pi with an old laptop and added a few more ip cameras recently.

#

it used to be 270-300... slowly creeping up

clever mortar Aug 27, 2018, 5:00 PM

#

The electricity bill is within the definition of reasonable - I'm not looking too closely at what the draw is 😛

amber bramble Aug 27, 2018, 5:01 PM

#

my electric company sends letters that shows your house on a graph compared to the average of other houses in your area which has turned it into a bit of a game for me

clever mortar Aug 27, 2018, 5:01 PM

#

No gamification like that here, just the "you should have a smart meter" grind

amber bramble Aug 27, 2018, 5:02 PM

#

i wish they'd replace the meters in my area with smart meters

clever mortar Aug 27, 2018, 5:02 PM

#

Of course, they're only just now getting around to moving on to the second generation, the first generation only works with the supplier that fits it

amber bramble Aug 27, 2018, 5:02 PM

#

the company has an ha integration, but my area hasn't gotten the new meters yet

clever mortar Aug 27, 2018, 5:02 PM

#

So, right now, going smart meter is still likely to be a mistake

#

At a practical level, I'm not that bothered about them, but then I don't expect to be able to meaningfully reduce the power draw in the house

amber bramble Aug 27, 2018, 5:04 PM

#

I do occasionally wonder how much a small (500-1000W) solar array would cost. it would be super cool to offset a chunk of the power draw from some of my tech with solar, but it seems like solar might still be too expensive

clever mortar Aug 27, 2018, 5:04 PM

#

Yeah, I would like solar, and something similar to the Tesla powerwalls (there's others in the market after all)

#

Ideally I'd want to be in a place where I could run the bulk of the time on solar, and have the whole house on an UPS

#

Not sure how practical that is up here though 🤷

honest geode Aug 27, 2018, 5:06 PM

#

Ahh the sweet music of heavy rain 😍

amber bramble Aug 27, 2018, 5:06 PM

#

yeah, i don't think i could swing running full-time on solar here, not enough non-cloudy sunny days and not enough surface area on my roof facing the right directions

rugged finch Aug 27, 2018, 8:26 PM

#

I guess that's probably pretty accurate too right?

#

Since my box is outside (like most?) I'd have to figure out a nice weather proof solution though

low harness Aug 27, 2018, 8:29 PM

It's accurate down to one Wh in my case, so yes, but that depends on the meter.

node-red got split off into its own channel based on the volume of discussion iirc

last plaza Aug 27, 2018, 11:17 PM

node-red is an iot platform itself, whereas appdaemon is nothing without HA

you can still run node-red for other things, appdaemon you can't

thats true ..... but this would be the wrong place to discuss that

Hi there, I apologize if this is easily found information and I've just looked over it...

#

...is there a easily configured interface for Home Assistant to set up say, an inexpensive Fire Tab with a browser or app to have put somewhere specifically for guest that aren't familiar with the system?

#

I've got IOT devices basically everywhere in the house and I want to make it easier for guest to interact with my smart home devices.

#

Obviously it's not too difficult to use Alexa for things, but I'd really like to get an inexpensive tablet to have setup in the garage since that's usually where the family, friends and I gather in the Texas summer.

#

I don't have Home Assistant setup right now, but I've got a small homelab and soon I'm going to spin up a Home Assistant container to compliment the other resources I've got.

IMO the power measurement should update at least every 10 seconds, preferably every 5 seconds like on i.e. Tasmota

You would be limited to how often you make an API call anyway

honest geode Aug 29, 2018, 8:18 AM

For example if you're trying to determine if your washing machine is done or not, with something like <20W, then it takes quite a while to get an impulse - and you would actually need two to be confident

That's where the 5 seconds MQTT from Sonoff is great.

Wish I could get access to the wattwatchers one as I think the unit itself updates way faster but since it is controlled by power company they wont allow direct access.
